It is not in Debian, it's in a seperate repository.
try:
deb http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/
It contains Marillats mplayer packages, repackaged by Guido Günther
(mplayer-fonts, mplayer-doc, mplayer-g4 and mplayer-powerpc).
I believe you need libdvdcss2 too.

I've experienced a lot of DVD play troubles when SCSI emu was loaded
(slow, irresponsive, ...). Since it's not required for burning CD's any
longer, I suggest to get rid of it.

gxin has segfaulted for me almost every time too. I mostly use totem for DVDs.
Note that I had to play at least one DVD in OS X first to get the region set
right. Maybe this is possible with a free software tool too.
